Hi all, I've cc'd the OCLUG mailing list and a couple of gentlemen from the Ottawa Ubuntu LoCo who might be interested in helping as well. Fellow OCLUG members, and Ubuntu folk, meet C4C. :) How 'bout it, guys and gals, do we feel an installfest coming on? =D I'm a huge proponent of installfests and would be more than happy to help out.
